Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The primary goal is to learn a wide range of machine learning algorithms, including deep learning, in order to select the most appropriate one according to the data's characteristics. This involves analyzing data by applying everything from basic machine learning techniques to advanced deep learning models, such as Large Language Models (LLMs), and being able to correctly interpret the results of these analyses.

Review
fMRI is an extremely useful research method that allows us to non-invasively investigate the cognitive functions of living humans. In particular, resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) is known to be useful for diagnosing diseases and is considered promising for clinical applications. It is essential not only to learn fMRI data analysis methods but also to understand the characteristics of this data in order to apply appropriate machine learning algorithms. 
Requirements  
Grading Method Evaluation will be based on the depth of understanding of the properties of fMRI data and the characteristics of machine learning algorithms.
